Katie and I took my LEED exam last Thursday, and I am glad to say that I passed!!!  I would like to thank you and your staff for all your help!

 

Thank you very much for your time today.  It was very refreshing to find someone so helpful and informative regarding the LEED-AP questions I presented.

 

Just wanted to thank you and everyone else who taught the course. Your preparation was excellent. I passed Friday, despite my somewhat haphazard study plan (none).  I danced on the grave of my test prep books.

 

I just wanted to let you know that I took and passed the LEED exam yesterday.  It was much harder than I expected so fear on my part was good.  So far we are 2 for 2 in passing.

 

I thought you might like to know that because of the class I took with you I was able to pass the LEED exam in the 1st try!

 

I took the test on Friday, and passed with a nearly perfect score.  Taking the course really helped!

 

The class was a fantastic introduction to LEED accreditation and a great way to meet other like-minded professionals in the industry.

 

Our forum on green building in a historic district tonight went splendidly, thanks to your terrific presentation.  I think it was just right for our audience, basic, and not too long, but covered all the bases in an engaging manner.  His comparison of an un-insulated Beacon Hill town house with a McMansion built recently to code was a real eye-opener.  The whole forum was very well received, and we thank you for your help.

 

My name is Latisha Ponde from Dorchester, MA. I would like to take the time to let you know that I was in awe at your course.  It opened my views of green energy which I lost a couple of years earlier. When I came to the seminar at NEXUS it changed my outlook about the green energy industry; I decided to return to college. At the seminar the speaker mentioned that their organization helped other companies convert their building spaces to make them more energy efficient and potentially turn them into a green buildings. She provided us with a tour of their building and showed us how their building was a green building.  I was ecstatic to see that old buildings can turn into green buildings; and here was where I lost interest in green energy. I thought that major companies were too set in their ways to see that they can make changes to help the environment and the ecosystems that encompasses us all as a whole. But now, most of us are in tune as how we all impact the environment, therefore would like to eliminate pollution and wasting of energy or food. Additionally, she mentioned other very important information that touched my heart. For instance, how we can capture storm water so that it would not cause flooding or pollute our estuaries, how most scraps from excavated buildings can be reused opposed to being burned or dumped into landfills which creates contaminated sediments and how can we preserve our ecosystem. I would like to say thank you to your and your speaker for bringing me back into the green energy movement. I can now see that I would be able to have prosperous career in the green energy field and help make a difference for our environment. Sincerely,

 

This was a great course, taught at just the right level. The instructor didn’t assume that we already knew how to use the software, but he also didn’t waste much time reviewing basic building concepts, which allowed us to make a lot of progress in just two days.

 

Excellent course if one wishes to learn more about designing and/or analyzing the building envelope for energy efficiency. Another great course that both taught extensive information and gave resources to continue one’s learning path. - Kathy Arthur, Tyler Consulting

Recently I attended a course on Energy Modeling by applying theory to practical modeling software.  I was pleased that the instructor and the group were keyed to success and that the instructor was excellent in his presentation and explanations.  Most importantly, I walked away with a new talent, improved on my CAD experience and learned the basics of a couple of new modeling programs.  My experience was fulfilling and rewarding.

 

This was a very good introduction to Energy Modeling by applying theory to practical modeling software. I can now use what was taught in real solutions at Nexamp. Good class. I would definitely recommend to someone designing new buildings. The instructor was very intelligent and advanced.

 

Barbra's holistic knowledge of sustainability is inspiring. Her thorough understanding of business processes and performance metrics enables her to present realistic and achievable strategies for shifting organizational culture. The "Greening Your Firm" workshop proved to be hugely beneficial in assessing current processes, setting a course for positive change, and measuring performance along the way. I would highly recommend this workshop for organizations wishing to more completely institurionalize sustainable practices.

 

"The SPI Boot Camp workshop was a great introduction to the ideas behind a sustainable and green office environment. It gave me a unique perspective on the way we work as Architects to incorporate sustainability into our profession"

 

This workshop helps connect the dots from scattered green ideas to focused green implementation. Sustainability can be an integrated and measurable part of design business rather than just a tack-on piece.

 

The SPI Boot Camp is the first program to give me the tools to track, integrate and maintain sustainability in a firm. These are ideas a processes I can actually use.

 

The workshop encourages a lot of interaction with fellow participants. I learned a great deal about dealing with subjects and ideas that are common to all of us and went away encouraged and excited. If you are interested in making your company more "sustainable", I highly recommend you attend the SPI Boot Camp.
